The TC 250 is a completely new, revolutionary machine. The biggest innovation is the new 250 cc engine that, at only 22 Kg., is without any shadow of doubt the point of reference for this category. Compared with the TC 08 engine, the distance between the primary transmission and the centre is decreased by about 16% and the distance between the gearbox and the centre is reduced by about 7%. Length, width and height have been decreased by 13%.
The single cylinder water-cooled four-stroke engine features 4 radial valves while bore and stroke are 79 mm and 50.9 mm respectively to give a capacity of 249.5 cc. The engine breathes through four titanium radial valves driven by twin overhead combined chain/gear drive cams.
Five-speed constant mesh gearbox. Lubrication is taken care of by a dry sump system with rotor pump. The engine and gearbox combined hold approx 0.9l of oil. The dry weight of the new Husqvarna is only 92 kg thus adding to its appeal and performance.
